Article Two: The name of this article is "Education Out and Giving Back: Adults' Conceptions of Successful African American High School Students from Impoverished Communities" and it talks about how this community was examined with conceptions of early successful adult outcomes of rural African-Americans from the deep south. Groups were formed with parents,teachers, and community leaders. Interviews were also conducted over the phone. There were two types of outcomes. They were having the youth leave their hometowns to attain education and then reconnecting with the community and the other type was having the youth become employed adults within the community.
Article Three:

Article Four:
The name of this article is titled "Extracurricular Activities and Academic Achievement" and its from ERIC. It talks about the link between EC activities and academics. It shows the difference between white students and black students. The amount of participation was positively related to academic achievement. The students completed achievement tests to show school and non-school EC activities. Overall the relationship was stronger for the white students.
Article Five:
The name of this article is titled "Extracurricular School Activities: The Good, The Bad, and The Linear" and it comes off of ERIC. It explains how they used high school seniors to examine the effects of EC activities. The three effects were threshold, identification and commitment, and social inequality gap reduction. The commitment and identification proved that school EC activities are more effective than non-school EC activities. Students were consistent with inequality gap reduction and activities benefited disadvantaged students who had problems socially much more than other students.
